Can I just say that I love Misty River? I was so excited to return to the small town in Georgia for Becky Wade’s newest Christmas novella, which complements the Misty River Romance series and tells us the story of Connor, Leah and Ben’s art teacher friend.
The friends to lovers troupe can be so hard, but Becky makes it effortless and in a novella no less! I love the light-hearted nature of this story and the fun banter back and forth between Connor and Shay. They are such kindred spirits, both creative and kind. And it was fun to watch them rediscover each other after they’d matured comfortably into adult status. It was enjoyable to cheer Shay on as she uncovered one attractive layer after another in the quiet, humble, talented boy she thought she knew.
Sigh. This story is a warm-your-heart, make-you-smile, satisfying romance despite its novella length! You will not feel slighted by the word count, I assure you. And it is perfect to read in between all your holiday events (or recovering from them!). If you have enjoyed the Misty River series, then grab this book to keep you company this holiday season.
I was given a copy of this novella by the author with no expectations of a positive review. All opinions are my own. ( )
